eMedia Guitar For Dummies

The only reason I give this 4 stars instead of five, is that the program moves a little too slow at some parts and a bit too fast at others. This is an EXCELLENT program for the beginner guitar player. Easy to use and follow. Lots of helpful extras like animated fretboard and metronome. I tried a few other guitar programs and this one is far above the rest.

Ive had the product for only 2 days now and I love it. I play a wide variety of instruments but the guitar is something that Ive wanted to play for years now. This product truly can assist anyone young or old how to play. It will go above and beyond the expectations of anyone who purchases it. Each time I use the program it feels like Im somewhere like Guitar Center paying out the a$$ for guitar lessons. Dont get me wrong, I love Guitar Center and there one-on-one lessons are great, but if youre on a budget and youre determined to learn how to play within your available free time (night or day) then this is the way to go.

This program is surprisingly fun. Its easy to use and a great way to start learning guitar without paying loads for lessons.

Doesnt work with windows xp and up. It kept freezing up and crashing after I tried to click on any of the lessons every time.

Guitar for Dummies is a good place to start learning how to play. Its pretty straight forward in teaching chords and strumming techniques and I really enjoyed that it had the built in recorder, metronome and tuner. The only drawback is that with SOME lessons the teacher assumes you know certain things already. Ive never picked up a guitar in my life before buying this and now I can at least play along to simple songs. It was worth it for the price.

Comprehensive guide on how to get started with an Acoustic piece. Dummy books have always been good for making information comprehensive and digestible, this is no exception.

Just what the Dr ordered. I played many years ago, and forgot most of what I learned back then (40+ yrs).

it is good for starters but i feel that still you need way more staff to learn so even for starter this can not help so much

I ordered this because of an Amazon Deal of the Day. First disk arrived promptly but wouldnt work in either of two computers. I sent for a replacement and just got it today. Same story, second verse...it doesnt work either. I suspect there was a bad lot of CDs for some reason. I wouldnt buy this until Amazon can provide some reasonable assurance that theyve got disks that work.

As a self taught guitarist, I do understand the basics and whilst my own methods arent necessary orthodox, I have had a lot of fun with my instrument. What this title does is help the user with easy lessons to pick up some great techniques (both for new and established guitarists) in various styles and backs up the lessons with easy to follow videoes that the user can speed up or slow down to help them learn.
